EBSCO does provide its customers with alerts for specific titles with unusually high increases as well as historical (5-year) reports on the subscribed journals' prices.

You may also find a couple that actually went down rather than up - I see that occasionally among art/humanities non-profit publishers. 

Sadly, such drops in absolute dollars pale in comparison to the increases in absolute dollars (and our budget has to balance in absolute dollars, not percentages) in the sciences.

"According to the 2017 Serials Price Projection Report from EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO), the overall effective publisher price increases for academic/medical libraries are expected to be the range of 5 to 6 percent (before currency impact). EBSCO bases the information in the Serials Price Projection Report on surveys of a wide range of publishers and reviews of historical serials pricing data to assist information professionals as they make budgeting decisions for renewals season."
